The youngest of the five children of José Fares, Lebanese immigrant to Brazil, and Dona Francisca, Fagner was born in Fortaleza, the capital of the state of Ceará, although his birth was recorded in Orós.
At the age of five years he won a youth competition at a local radio station. As a teen, he formed vocal and instrumental groups and began to compose his own music. In 1968 he won the Festival de Música Popular do Ceará (Popular Music Festival of Ceará) with his song "Nada Sou" (I am Nothing).
In 1971 he moved to the capital Brasília, taking first place in the Festival de Música Popular do Centro de Estudos Universitários de Brasília (Popular Music Festival of the University Studies Center of Brasília) with his piece "Mucuripe" (with collaborator Belchior), which was later recorded by artist Elis Regina, and became Fagner's first notable success as a composer. He won prizes in other categories with additional pieces, as well.
He has had a distinguished career as a performer, singer, songwriter and composer for over 3 decades, and is also known for his collaborations with other MPB artists such as Caetano Veloso, Roberta Miranda, Chico Buarque and others.
Intuição
Fagner Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que pode atrapalhar
A minha intuição bendita
Que diz que eu sou talvez
Uma coisa bonita
Guardas no porão da vida
Vida, vida, quem sabe
Deixa o tempo correr
Como ave perdida
Vida, vida, quem sabe
Entre o sonho e o segredo
Deixa o tempo correr
Minha vida ...
Na busca do prazer
Não morre meu desejo
De ver a vida claramente
E assim não ter razão
Ou ter é tudo igual
A vida é calmaria e temporal
Vida, vida, quem sabe ...
The lyrics to Fagner's song "Intuição" appear to be about the conflict between reason and intuition in making choices in life. The singer acknowledges that "you" (presumably someone else) may have plenty of reason, but this can hinder the singer's "blessed intuition" that tells them they may be something beautiful that they've stored away in the basement of life. It seems that the singer is torn between the practical, logical approach to life that is based on reason and the more instinctual, intuitive approach that is based on feelings and emotions.
The phrase "entre o sonho e o segredo" (between dream and secret) adds to the sense of mystery and duality in the lyrics. The singer sings to "let time run like a lost bird" and "see life clearly." It's possible that the singer is acknowledging that life is a mixture of pleasant dreams and tough realities, and that intuition may be able to help them navigate between the two more effectively. Alternatively, the lyrics could be interpreted as a call to embrace the unknown and follow one's heart, rather than always relying on logic and reason.
Overall, "Intuição" seems to be a contemplative song about the struggle between reason and intuition and the desire to find meaning and beauty in life.
